George Washington orders Generals Sullivan and Clinton to Enact Genocidal “Scorched Earth” Campaign

During the American Revolutionary War, Haudenosaunee Nation remained neutral. In spite of this, General George Washington ordered Continental Army troops to attack Ongweoweh villages, burning their homes and gardens, and destroying their orchards. Many people fled from the oncoming assault, forced to abandon their communities and lands. Much of the land was then given as payment to Continental Army soldiers as a reward for their service. Because of this, the Haudenosaunee’s title for all US Presidents is Hanadagá•yas- Town Destroyer. You can learn more at https://www.sullivanclinton.com/.
